Today, at Stratford college i was given an insight into the people from the Yao Hill Tribe. They performed in the Cultural Cafe and consisted of about seven women and eight men who had fantastic vocals. They sang some very exotic and traditional Chinese songs and were brilliant. The reaction of the crowd showed this by how amazed they were. One of the women had a solo and portrayed it perfectly furthermore she was then backed up by the rest of her supporting performers to finish the wonderful song. They executed all of this while wearing colorful and vibrant outfits which were really unique.
After watching this thrilling experience two males of the group performed a tradition of their culture which was a test of strength, they performed acrobatics by using a pole, each male held one end off the pole and tried to force the other person to let go they used many techniques by flicking each other into the air and rolling off each others back for victory.
All in All I enjoyed their preview of what's to come and found it an exciting event.
Thankyou Shamus you have inspired me to watch more of this performing group even though i thought they were boring xx
